JOKER: 100th FILM OF AKSHAY KUMAR

The trailers of JOKER that have been released in the cinema halls recently have started creating a buzz about Akshay Kumar's new film on offer, which is going to hit the screens in the month of August. For Akshay Kumar it would be a matter of pride that with JOKER his century of films in Hindi cinema would be completed.

Indeed, JOKER is going to be the 100th film for Akshay Kumar in his long acting career. For Akshay Kumar, it indeed is a lucky year as two of his films HOUSEFULL 2 and ROWDY RATHORE have crossed 100 crore mark. Kumar would be hoping that JOKER should overhaul the collections of both these films as he has as his co-star Sonakshi Sinha in JOKER as well.

For Akshay Kumar it certainly is a monumental achievement as he has reached this position without any godfather in the industry or having a genealogy that could help him to make his debut. His sojourn has been an exercise that is full of trials and tribulations, or rather baptism by fire so to say, but he has made his mark and reached a position where now he on his own commands initial opening at the box office.

AKSHAY AND SONAKSHI "JOKER" RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED

Aliens! Is the town really the site of an alien invasion? Will Akshay manage to change the game-just like the joker does in a pack of cards? Get set for India's coolest (and first ever) comedy JOKER starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha in 3D.

SONAKSHI SINHA IN SEARCH OF GLAMOROUS LOOK

Bollywood’s hot and beautiful daughter of veteran actor and MP Shatrughan Sinha, Sonakshi Sinha is looking out for some glamor these days.

The demanding actress is focusing on changing her village belle image and is all set to don a glamorous avatar for her forthcoming Abbas Mastan film titled ‘Race 2’.

"I believe as an actress one must do different roles. I wanted to change my image from being a traditional girl to a glamorous one. So I signed Race 2," Sinha said, during an interview.

She said that she wanted to shed the "gaon ki gori" image, and so even Shirish Kunder’s ‘Joker’, opposite Akshay Kumar, will see her in a glam and chic look.

Sonakshi said “I had to first lose weight for my debut film. Now I have to get into even better shape for my two upcoming films Joker and Race 2,” said the actress, who had everyone smitten by her innocent act in ‘Dabangg’ opposite Salman Khan.

The buzz is that Sonakshi is working extra hard on her look in the 'Race' sequel, as she is replacing sultry Bipasha Basu in the movie, and so the stakes are high.

According to Tabloids, Sonakshi is the busiest person in the B-town these days and she makes sure that she attends all functions, to which she is invited.

Spreading her charisma, the actress won two awards at the FICCI awards, courtesy her entry film ‘Dabangg’ that had won the Filmfare Award for the best film of the year 2010.

From shuttling between her shoots, to winning awards, to performing at events, to endorsing products, Sonakshi is busy with her professional commitments and well, she is definitely having fun.

"Bhaagam bhaag hai bhai! Been going crazy trying to complete all my assignments! Feels like shooting for joker was the vacation," she had posted on her Twitter account on Saturday.


She has been roped in as the brand ambassador of Dabur Fem Herbal Creme Bleach and on Provogue, this month and is also gearing up to shoot her South Indian flick opposite superstar Kamal Haasan.
